As for well known port, we can specify non-default port numbers in URLs (I'm not sure whether it works for mailto: or not) or. in the future, things like DNS SRV RRs should be helpful.
This absolutely doesn't work. And DNS SRV RRs have roughly zero uptake for stuff that matters (web, email).
Then, to run servers at home, we only need some not-well-known ports forwarded, which can be default or value added service of your local ISP, just like fixed IP addresses today.
Oh and we need to work around the whole IP reputation system that governs email today.
Is there even any IETF work being done on getting port forwards on a device behind your immediate LAN at home?
We may even develop transport protocols with 32 bit port numbers, which is a lot easier to deploy than IPv6.
Do you have any more practical proposals, or..? -- Niels.
